Hi Ernest;

Wiki says …

Quote:
The gravitational constant is perhaps the most difficult physical constant to measure to high accuracy. In SI units, the 2006 CODATA-recommended value of the gravitational constant is:

G=6.67428 x 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2

with relative standard uncertainty 1 part in 10^4.
That makes it uncertain to only 0.01%, doesn't it ?

Cheers
